Best-in-class Training
To be a brilliant Quality Engineer requires best-in-class training and that’s exactly what we’ve developed. The skills learned are aligned to industry-recognised ISTQB with plenty of on-the-job learning, mentoring and support from our leading technology professionals.
AN EXCITING INTRODUCTION
Roq is passionate about developing the next generation of Quality Engineering talent. Over the years, many of our academy graduates have become success stories, going on to be in influential and leadership positions on client assignments.
We’ve developed a structured, 15-month programme of intensive training and client projects, where our Academy Consultants kick start their journey with a comprehensive induction and ‘Bootcamp’ which provides a first-rate introduction to Quality Engineering. This enables them to gain a clear understanding of the Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC) and how it’s used to help clients deliver successful technology change. We take a detailed look at the quality of code, functionality and applications are delivered to the highest of standards. Applying recognised best practices, we provide knowledge of the process for validating and assuring software effectively and ensure everyone has a good introduction to the coding languages used by delivery teams throughout the industry. You’ll also get to gain experience and build solutions using the latest automation technology and our own AI frameworks.
MORE THAN TECHNICAL SKILLS
In addition to enhancing technical capability, we weave in life skills and professional development training. This ensures that when the intensive training is complete, everyone’s ready for the challenge of client assignments to help some of the world’s largest clients deliver their technology initiatives.
MORE THAN WORK
It’s a proven fact that people retain information better when learning is enjoyable and memorable and that completely matches our culture. That’s why we make sure that we weave plenty of fun into every stage of the training and beyond. Whether it’s cracking codes in an escape room or hiking through the Lake District, our team forms lasting connections over shared experiences and plenty of laughter.
PROFESSIONAL MENTORS
Throughout the training, our Consultants are mentored by exceptional Quality Engineering industry professionals who are keen to share their extensive and diverse knowledge and experiences.
Dedicated support
Every individual is continuously supported by a dedicated Career Support Manager to nurture them through the process and help them to identify and complete extensive training opportunities, not only in their chosen career but also in consultancy and soft skills.
